Provided there is a training camp:
“I’ll be ready to go for training camp,” Connelly told The Post. “I think I would’ve been able to do some limited participation in OTAs. I was excited to do individual periods and get reps, but who knows if I will get that chance given the scheduling changes due to the coronavirus.”

Agreed Eric. It often takes 2 years before a player can fully recover back to their original level.
He was fun to watch last year. Bad luck for us & him to get the injury. When we drafted him a friend of mine (Badger Alum) told me we got ourselves a player - he was right!
One thing to consider though is that he's young with practically no NFL millage on his body, so his healing is (hopefully) better and he doesn't have other issues that may hold him back.
Exactly! I think he had one fastest 10-yard split for any linebacker in last years draft. His burstto the ball was one of his best attributes.
"Connelly ran the third-quickest 10-yard split (1.54 seconds) of any off-ball linebacker that weighed in at 240-plus pounds at the NFL Combine since 2010."

he has/had excellent quickness, may want to check your notes on that

Yeah, one of the things I noticed most about him was how he flashed to the hole. I thought he had great quickness
Seemed like the type of MLB field general who made the whole defense better, looked less boneheaded when he was in - brief time that it was.
